<p>I am applying to selective LAC's Middlebury Macalester etc.. and University of Michigan (i live in MI) . and and i was wondering if on the common app is there a separate section for work experience? I have had two jobs and would like that to really stick out. Should i just put them in with my activities? also with extracurriculars does it matter much how i rank them. Here are the ones I am thinking of including. Any advice is welcome!</p>
<p>Sports
Cross Country-all four year varsity letter, captain senior year. huge time commitment
Alpine Skiing-past three years varsity letter, might be captain. also a lot of time
Track/Field-varsity letter past three years
Coached and helped run an elementary track program for two years. volunteer.</p>
<p>Music
Playing Violin- I have played for 11 years in various music groups student and community orchestra
Board of Directors for community symphony- I am the only youth/student board member. We direct the activities finances promotion etc of the community orchestra I play in. I have been on the board for like 2 years and in the orchestra for 3.
Alternative roots. Member/Organizer. Student organization, founded by students completely run by students. Organize events and activities for students to do. Promote local student musicians. </p>
<p>Clubs
Student Council- ive been on it for three years-secretary of the exec board for 2 years
Member of Key Club- Worth including?</p>
<p>Student Conservation Association-served on two national volunteer crews working in parks in north dakota/colorado/utah. Probably one of the most important to me influenced my potential major choice.. environmental studies. Its only for three weeks for the past two summers though and I had my crew leader write a supplemental reference which probably highlighted it enough. </p>
<p>Work
Worked for 4 summers at an artisan bread bakery. Its owned by my parents but definitely a real job
Worked as a ski instructor at a local resort last winter. Got certified by professional ski instructor association of america, also was awarded rookie of the year. which is kind of a bog deal because i mostly worked with adults. Very important to me. </p>
<p>Also I am very politically active. I have worked on campaigns every two years since I was like ten. Is this worth mentioning anywhere? </p>
<p>My question is should I include all of these? and what one do you think would be best to elaborate on?</p>
